I don't have anything to bring to this debate about this particular player but I can tell you what you just described as also a risk with TET McMillan or whatever the hell his name is...
Hear me out, this guy right now is being hyped up as a great 50-50 ball guy don't worry about him being slow, because he can out jump anyone, he'll be great in the red zone,
but they don't talk about his route running, they don't talk about him getting very small separation right now in college and what is that going to do in the pros against better DBS?
sometimes even the draft can fall in love with a player because of his size, yeah but his size also needs to come with speed or separation or route running something else besides the fact that he's Michael Gallup or a poor man's Dez Bryant..
because right now Dez Bryant at least coming out of college we knew he could run and he had a lot of good moves, meaning he can return punts and he can at least get open, if he didn't know that many routes, he got better with time, but I'm not sold on TET, I just am not I don't see how he's being hyped up over golden at #12 because I would take golden at 12 just as easily..
You calling this guy Michael Gallup it's just reminds me of how blind some people are because that's how I see TET.. Granted ,I didn't break down a bunch of film, and I didn't see any of his games which is also weird and I never heard of the guy, and I know I'm a Longhorn fan and the SEC/big12 guy ,and maybe I just didn't hear about him because he was on a bad team in Arizona, but that's also a red flag to me that the only time I heard this guy's name come up was when the combine/pre-draft ,mock drafts started...
And yes, I realized that players can come from small schools or relatively unheard of like Terrell Owens or it can be slow like Jerry Rice but you have to have something more than size tell me what else this guy brings besides a jump ball 5050 guy just getting out leap A DB..
And again, I'm not claiming to be an expert I just thought the ironing here of you saying this guy that we're talking about here and Trey Harris reminds you of Michael Gallup and not worth 12 and I'm sitting here thinking the same thing about Tet..
You pick a guy at 12 he needs to be a day one starter in my opinion he needs to be able to line up on the opposite side of lamb and doesn't need a lot of time to adjust to the NFL. That's how I see most first rounders especially at 12 especially when there's other players there that can be as dynamic or more dynamic like golden we don't have to worry about golden because again when you go to the NFL against stiffer competition you need to have more to lose meaning because of your speed and your route running and your ability to get separation even if you lose some of that you still are gonna adjust to the NFL better because you have more to lose I don't think TET has more to lose someone needs to convince me....
